Adsense Revolutionizes the web

Regardless of the improvement, the money is in being the one that sells the product or service. The difference is that now the ones that funnel the traffic are getting compensated better.

Personally, it does make me feel good that hosting the stuff that I write pays for itself and leaves some pocket change behind. It has probably made me create more content, and pretty soon will allow me to get rid of a competing banner network making the site even less cluttered. Frankly, the other banner network only paid hosting costs, and was used so that I could fool myself into believing that I was not loosing money.

On my own information site, AdSense has complemented affiliate sales very nicely–most notably, by monetizing subtopics and pages that weren’t direct sources of revenue before. I don’t let AdSense dictate what I cover, but it’s nice to know that, if I do write about snowshoe walking tours of the Bernese Oberland in the winter or grape-stomping holidays during the Bordeaux wine harvest, there’s a good chance that AdSense will serve targeted ads–if only for Bernese Oberland hotels or Bordeaux wines.

- The fun of writing new content and creating new pages and sites has now doubled for me.
- All the advertizers that refused to advertize at my sites in the past now advertize through AdSense _at_my_sites_ and i don’t loose time and nerves because of enquiries, refusals, contracting and billing hassle.

Now, offer some better accounting, reporting, targeting and payment features, Google – your chance to make a new .com boom come true. Thanks.
